Oliver Beckwith

I am a passionate programmer who will work above and beyond, such as staying awake into the early morning simply because I do not want to leave my program with bugs in it. I love to program and love to see my code come together and slowly but surely produce a program that I can be proud of. I also love to work on games with the same level of enthusiasm. I have been in the world of software development and games design since September of 2013 when I began my Games Programming and Software Development course at Nelson and Colne College. I completed this course with the highest grade possible, triple distinction star, which fuelled me to enrol at the University of Bradford on the Computer Science with Games course. During this course, I worked as the lead programmer of a number of group projects, and finalised the degree with a year long project regarding natural behaviours within game AI. Following this, I began my masters in Big Data Science and Technology, which has propelled my knowledge of handling and understanding data ahead. My dissertation project researched into the effects of transferring learned policies in Deep Reinforcement Learning (Artificial Intelligence).
